[QUOTE="Angelsboi, post: 575345, member: 1219"] [b][u]Runic Knight - Prestiege Class[/u][/b][u][/u] Runic knights are the soldiers of Rydonia. Called runic knights because they combine swordplay and are infused with magic, they make excellent opponents. While some do not use the service of the runic knights, there is speak of a continent where runic knights are the sole armed forces. They are deadly with their weapons and their spells. All runic knights put duty and country above all else. They are loyal and steadfast and wont hesitate to protect that which is close to them. Runic knights may be of any alignment. Good runic knights obey their leaders but won't do anything that constitutes being evil. War and killing for ones country isn't evil, if, they are at fault. Lawful runic knights follow the laws of their leaders and employers. The law of duty and country come above all else. Evil runic knights twist the laws to their own degree and most often then not, team up with corrupt political figures. A runic knight can not focus on becoming anything other than a runic knight. If a runic knight strays from his training, he loses all runic abilities, except spell casting, if, he has developed that talent yet.
